My brother sent me that same article. Just read it. Very interesting read. Getting screwed by a controversial roughing the passer penalty in Camp Randall sounds about right.
The number of good college players (most of whom played for the Gophers) that came from that part of the state in the early 60's is pretty amazing: Paul Ramseth, Jimmie Cairns, Jay Kessler (all from Redwood Falls), Paul Benson and Larry Cole (both from Granite Falls) and Bob Bruggers (Danube).
